Lubrication & Preventive Maintenance

Before It Breaks

Keeping your garage door in top shape doesn’t take much, but regular lubrication and preventive maintenance can go a long way in preventing costly repairs. Over time, moving parts like rollers, hinges, tracks, and springs experience wear and tear, leading to squeaks, grinding noises, or even a stuck door. A little lubrication on these components helps reduce friction, prevent rust, and keep everything running smoothly. It’s one of the easiest and most effective ways to extend the life of your garage door system. If you’ve noticed your door getting noisier or struggling to open and close, it might just need a little TLC to get back to smooth operation.

In addition to lubrication, preventive maintenance involves checking for loose hardware, tightening bolts, testing the balance of the door, and inspecting cables for wear. Small issues, like a misaligned track or a slightly loose spring, can turn into big (and expensive) problems if left unchecked. Regular tune-ups ensure that everything stays in place and your door operates safely. If you’re comfortable with DIY maintenance, lubricating the right parts and checking for obvious wear is a great habit. But a professional Denver Garage Door tune-up once or twice a year can catch potential issues early and keep your garage door running smoothly for years to come.
